To load programs, you used a cassette player, and you had to know exactly where on the tape the program started (the tape counter came in handy), and you had to make sure the volume was set correctly.

LOL - I had NO storage when I bought my C64. I'd spend hours writing/entering program code, run the program a few times and happily lose it when I turned off the computer.

I eventually got the cassette drive (execute load command, wait 3 minutes for the loader screen to come up that would inform me it would be approximately 20 more minutes before the rest of the program loaded) and then the floppy drive. It was great...64k of memory and a 170k floppy drive
